Hello there! I’m Arden Johnson :)
This portfolio is meant to give an insight into my personality while showcasing 2 years of professional work and personal endeavors in game development.
Why did I chose Game Development for a career? It is because video games and innovation have long been part of my identity. I’ve always enjoyed the creativity that can be found in the different worlds of video games. However, my focus has primarily been on the various communities that surround these games. Gaming communities have long been a source of fellowship and inspiration of creativity. In the past this creativity manifested as creating props, but now I chose to step it up by making my own games. Games that may one day spawn their own communities!
In 2020, I graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, with a concentration in Game Development. During my senior year, I also worked part time as an engineering intern at Imangi Studios, the creators of the popular Temple Run and Temple Run 2. After graduation in May, I was hired as an Associate Software Engineer at Imangi, where I have enjoyed working alongside a team of incredible of people ever since!
